wtf is this ****? 5 minutes spent talking about pornography????

Bachus is incapable of formulating a coherent argument.

WTF credit cards can't be used? Seriously?

amendment proposed to prohibit credit cards. Only allow debit and prepaid cards. To protect ppl from racking up large debts.

yeah the problem is you keep supporting a bad bill till it is on the edge of passing, all the while hoping it turns good, then 'oh no, it passed'!

thats cool just give us paypal

I guess a way to get the 50% tax out is to eliminate the need for the McDermott bill, but that means we need an amendment here giving money to the state.

Otherwise, we need to revisit the state opt out thread and make guesses where states dont get extra revenue.

Yeah, losing credit cards sucks because of how convenient they are, but I would tend to agree that people shouldn't gamble/poker/invest on credit in general.

I see nothing wrong with this.

Don't have too much of a problem with this really. If I remember correctly, a lot of credit card operators didn't let you deposit even before the UIGEA.

Only those sites found in violation of federal gaming law will be denied a license. That is the what the current amdt says (sherman). As far as I know, the us-facing poker sites believe they are not breaking any laws, nor have they been convicted of breaking any laws. Nothing will guarentee that they get a license, but the amdt does not prohibit them. Now there may be another amdt offers that says anyone post uigea has taken a wager they cannot get a license. We will fight that!

I mean do people really have credit cards but not debit cards? Doesn't really seem like a huge deal to me....

Can u comment briefly on an int'l player pool? Does having all facilities in the U.S. prohibit this???
